Grayslake: More Than Mated: Growling For Mine is by Alexa Riley and is part of the Grayslake: More Than Mated Kindle World series. Warning: This is a short shifter story filled with sweet cheesy possessiveness and lots of growling. ![]() Will being snowed in lead to steamy nights and mating bites? You betcha! When her car slips and she ends up in danger, she never expects her rescuer to be the one to give her everything she’s ever wanted. Hearing whispers of shifters in Grayslake, she takes off in search of something, anything, that can bring some light to her life. But this time it’s going to be different. Lola didn’t plan on her deadbeat mom blowing the rent and then skipping town, so she’s without a home. Never before has he wanted a mate, but finding Lola changes all that. When he pulls her from her car after she wraps it around a tree, he is blindsided by the connection. He’s a happy bear shifter, building furniture and being alone…until a little curvy woman literally crashes into his life. ![]() ![]() Librarian note: Alternative cover edition of ASIN B01DN1BLKKīleu has been living an isolated life away from the clan of Grayslake. ![]()

When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech startup, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: PowerPoint presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes.
